Hi,What is the error light
Step one: Identify the specific printing problemIf
your All-in-One won't print, first you need to identify the specific
issue or symptom. What exactly happens when you try to print? Do you
see an error message or do the lights on the printer start blinking
(flashing)? Does nothing happen at all? Follow these steps to identify
your unique printing issue before troubleshooting. If you can identify a symptom based one of these methods, make a note of the symptom, and then continue to the next step.
Method one: Look for blinking lightsLook
for any blinking lights on the front or top of the All-in-One.
Sometimes just the power button can blink, or a small indicator light
on the printer can blink, or a combination of buttons can blink all at
once.
Example indicator lights on the printerAttention lightsWireless indicator lightCartridge lightsError LightsExample blinking lights patternsMethod two: Look for error messagesPrinting
problems are usually accompanied by an error message of some sort,
usually on the control panel display (if your All-in-One has one), or
on your computer monitor. Check both places for specific error
messages. Error messages might or
might not be accompanied by an icon representing the error. Following
are some examples of error messages you might see on your computer
screen or control panel display.

This means that your printer is trying to print from the wrong serial port connection, as your printer should be connected via a USB cable.
Go to start>control panel>printers and faxes.
Double click the printer and faxes icon and your Epson printer icon should be there and set as default with a tick next to it; right click on the icon>properties and then at the top of the next window, click on the tab that says ports and a list of ports will be there and the one that should be ticked should be USB001, and not LPT1 as it will be show, press ok and close windows and restart the pc.
